Data saved without save button clicked

[psyk]

Hello, 

I have a grid with commandColumn and customAdapter for CRUD opreations.

The insert/update method are called without clicking on the save button

example:

• I click on the edit button on row 1
• row 1 is in edit mode
• then, I click the edit button on row2
• the update method is called for row 1 even if I didn'T lcikc on the save button

This should not be happening: I have never clicked on the save button

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you

Hi Audrey,  

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  

 

Query: “The insert/update method are called without clicking on the save button This should not be happening: I have never clicked on the save button” 

 

We have analyzed the reported query and we understand that you want to save the changes in Grid only on pressing the Save command button click. We have achieved your requirement using OnActionBegin, OnActionComplete and CommandClicked events of the Grid. We have maintained a Boolean variable (IsEdit) to check whether the Grid is in edit state.  

 

In the CommandClicked event based on the Boolean variable we have called CloseEdit() method to cancel the current row editing . Refer the below code example.  

 

<SfGrid @ref="Grid" DataSource="@Orders" AllowPaging="true" Height="315"> 

    <GridEvents TValue="Order" OnActionBegin="ActionBegin" OnActionComplete="ActionComplete" CommandClicked="CommandClicked"></GridEvents> 

    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true"></GridEditSettings> 

    . . . . . . . . 

</SfGrid> 

  

@code{ 

    SfGrid<Order> Grid { get; set; } 

    public List<Order> Orders { get; set; } 

    //boolean variable to check the edit state  

    public bool isEdit { get; set; } 

    public async Task CommandClicked(CommandClickEventArgs<Order> Args) 

    { 

        if (Args.CommandColumn.Type == CommandButtonType.Edit && isEdit) 

        { 

            //to cancel the editing 

            await Grid.CloseEdit(); 

        } 

    } 

    public void ActionComplete(ActionEventArgs<Order> Args) 

    { 

        if (Args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.Cancel || Args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.Save) 

        {             

            isEdit = false; 

        } 

    } 

    public void ActionBegin(ActionEventArgs<Order> Args) 

    { 

        if(Args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.Add || Args.RequestType == Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.Action.BeginEdit) 

        { 

            isEdit = true; 

        } 

    }

Thank you, I will try this. 

But this feels like a workaround no?

It shouldn't save if i didn't click on the button right?

isn't that a bug?

[Vignesh Natarajan]

Hi Audrey,  

 

Thanks for the update.  

 

Query: “But this feels like a workaround no? It shouldn't save if i didn't click on the button right? isn't that a bug?” 

 

By design previous edited rows will be autosaved before starting next edit, add or delete operation. We have designed the Blazor Grid feature similar to MS Excel. So modified changes will updated in Grid when row leaves the edit mode. This is default behavior of Grid. But we have considered your requirement (to prevent the autosave) as usability feature and logged the improvement “Need to prevent autosave in Grid on next row edit start column ” for the same.  

 

We are always trying to make our products better and feature requests like yours are a key part of our product growth efforts. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision and technological feasibility. Fix for the improvement will be included in our weekly Nuget release which is expected to be rolled out by month mid of May 2021.  

 

You can also communicate with us regarding the open features any time using our Feature Report page.

Till then we suggest you to overcome this behavior by using the solution provided in the previous update.

Hi Syncfusion,

On clicking off of the edited row, is there a way to either (a) guide the user back to the current edited row via pop up ("Hey, please don't click off. Hit save ..."), or (b) (preferred) IGNORE the clicking off of the edited row?

Also - the proposed feature has been in queue for over a year now. Is there an ETA for when it will be implemented? 

Gerald.

Hi Gerald ,  

Sorry for the Inconvenience.

We are currently Validating  the reported query at our end and we will update the further details within two business days(Aug 17, 2022). Until then we appreciate your patience.

Regards,

Naveen Palanivel

[Gerald Peng]

Thanks Naveen.

Just for context - this is an issue with both regular users, and notably, those with accessibility needs. The clicking onto another row is often done by accident during edits when they are navigating the edit row fields. As a result, it is causing issues as they cannot focus on their current record. Thanks Naveen. You guys have a great product and I appreciate the prompt response.

Gerald.

[Naveen Palanivel]

Hi Gerald,

Thank you for your feedback,

As per the requirement, we prepared a sample. When we click the next row of the edit button without clicking save, the previous edit row and focus do not move to that row. Please refer to the attached sample for your reference.

Please get back to us if you need further assistance.

Hi Naveen

The save of the edited row when you click on another row is still a behavior in your sample. This would be an issue for users without good mouse control and have a tendency to click off of the row being edited. Is there a way to prevent the grid from accepting a click input on another row while there is a row is being edited?

Hi Gerald,

We checked your query and we achieved your requirement when you edit the row after clicking any another row by without cliking save button, it does not go to save state . we prepared sample attached in this ticket . please kindly refer the attached sample for your reference

    {

        if (Args.CommandColumn.Type == CommandButtonType.Edit && Grid.IsEdit)

        {

            //prevent default action

            Args.Cancel = true;

            //show your custom dialog here

        }

 

        if (Args.CommandColumn.Type == CommandButtonType.Save && isediting)

        {

            Args.Cancel = false;

            isediting = false;

 

        }

    }

 

    public void ActionBeginHandler(ActionEventArgs<Order> args)

Thanks Naveen - but aside from not saving - will the focus be directed back to the row initially edited, and not the row that was clicked on?

[Naveen Palanivel]

Hi Gerald,

We checked your query and we would like to inform that it is default behavior when we click is made using mouse.

So that when click is made, focus will be moved to clicked element and focus from edited record will be removed

Please get back to us if you need further assistance.

Regards,

Naveen Palanivel

[Gerald Peng]

Hi Naveen,

Is there any way to override the default behavior as you described above?

Gerald.

[Naveen Palanivel]

Hi Gerald,

We checked your query and we say sorry to inform like that, it is not possible override the default behavior of mouse click action

Please get back to us if you need further assistance on this.
